Abstract
For a prime l≧ 3, we construct a class of number fields with infinite l-class field tower in which only l and two other primes ramify. As an application, we find an S3 number field with infinite 3-class field tower with smallest known (to the author) root discriminant among all S3 fields with infinite 3-class field tower.
